Miriam Margolyes in Dickens’ Women

Following sellout performances in 2007, BAFTA® award winning actress Miriam Margolyes returns to Australia for an encore national tour of her one-woman tour-de-force, Dickens’ Women.

Bringing to life twenty-three of Charles Dickens’ most affecting and colourful female (and male!) characters, Margolyes presents her powerful, comprehensive, and at times hilarious exposé of Dickens, his writing, and the real-life women who found themselves immortalised in his books.

This strictly limited season is part of the worldwide celebrations of 200 years of Charles Dickens in 2012. Don’t miss your chance to see this acclaimed actor in the roles she was born to play.

Reviews

Dickens’ Women is a tour de force. When she appears as herself, Margolyes sparkles with intelligence and enthusiasm and is full of witty erudition about Dickens’ life and work. And when she inhabits his characters, you’d swear they lived and breathed in front of you.

THE AGE

…I don’t think I have ever seen a better one-hander than Miriam Margolyes’ Dickens’ Women.

THE FINANCIAL REVIEW

It’s all immense fun, even if you’re unfamiliar with the novels. There’s an earthiness and a cleverness that feeds into Margolyes’s acting.
She can pull faces and pull off dozens of voices, but there’s so much more to her and her work. There’s a creative spirit, a restlessness which helps keep a well-drilled work fresh and utterly live.

HERALD SUN

…a genuine chameleon. This is theatre at its most enriching.

SUNDAY HERALD NEWS

…a performer of considerable wit, charm and skill.

AUSTRALIAN STAGE

…her unique ability to deliver everything she promises is without parallel.

STAGENOISE.COM

… [Margolyes] immediately creates a character with a realism that is remarkable.

THEATRE REVIEW (NZ)

… a wonderful example of the power of an extremely talented actor…

THE COURIER MAIL

… a bravura one-woman show and a comprehensive literary lesson of the nicest kind.
